Silverson Machines receive ISO 14001 Certification

Here at Silverson, we are pleased to have recently achieved a significant milestone by obtaining the ISO 14001 certificate, a globally recognised standard for environmental management systems.

By achieving this certification, the company demonstrates its dedication to reducing waste, conserving resources, and continually improving its environmental performance throughout its operations. Silverson’s ISO 14001 certificate is a testament to its dedication to a greener and more sustainable future, aligning with its mission to provide innovative solutions to customers worldwide.

How do we help our customers become more sustainable?

As per our Environmental Policy, we are committed to minimising the effect on the environment arising from our business activities and ensuring that any environmental impacts are clearly understood and mitigated. We are continually monitoring and working to improve our practices.

When purchasing from Silverson, with our ISO 14001 certification, customers can be sure that we are doing everything that we can during our manufacturing processes to reduce our impact on the environment. We use the latest manufacturing techniques and equipment, and design our process to minimise waste; recycling of materials has been central to our manufacturing process for many years.

As quality manufacturers for over 75 years, we build every Silverson mixer to last. Each mixer is robustly designed and manufactured to the highest standards, and maintenance requirements are minimal; we help to ensure our customers’ mixers continue working as efficiently as possible, for as long as possible. We’ve had customers send us pictures of Silverson Laboratory mixers from the 1960s and earlier, still in regular use! As such, when Silverson manufactures a mixer, be assured that this won’t be part of the ‘throw away’ culture; with correct installation, use and regular maintenance these mixers are built to last for many, many years.

While high shear mixers are often more powerful than a conventional agitator for the same size tank, they will dramatically reduce mixing times –by up to 90% in some instances. This in itself helps our customers to reduce energy requirements. In addition, a Silverson mixer can perform a wide range of mixing tasks, often replacing several different pieces of process equipment, and where this includes colloid mills and high pressure homogenisers, the energy saving is significant.
